Developmental relations of Spanish and English spelling in emergent bilinguals between grade 1 and grade 3
Language Variation in Elementary Students’ Writing
Language varieties such as African American English and Southern American English are well-established dialects of English with historic importance and modern cultural capital. While features of language varieties, such as nonmainstream dialects, are well documented in children’s spoken language, less has been studied about child dialect speakers’ writing in academic settings. In this study, we explored the features and frequency of use of Africa…
Examining linguistic and discourse features in oral text production and their dimensionality
Examining the dimensionality of oral discourse language skills in early childhood is crucial in informing theories of language and literacy development. This study examined the factor structure of linguistic and discourse features in oral text production for second graders. A total of 330 English-speaking second graders ( M age = 7.33, 53% boys, 55% White) described three pictures in two discourse conditions. Children’s picture descriptions were …
Do Written Language Bursts Mediate the Relations of Language, Cognitive, and Transcription Skills to Writing Quality
In this study, we examined burst length and its relation with working memory, attentional control, transcription skills, discourse oral language, and writing quality, using data from English-speaking children in Grade 2 ( N = 177; M age = 7.19). Results from structural equation modeling showed that burst length was related to writing quality after accounting for transcription skills, discourse oral language, working memory, and attentional contro…
The effects of a summer reading program for migrant children in migrant schools
Supporting language and literacy development with intensive small-group interventions
Why the Simple View of Reading Is Not Simplistic
Pathways of relations of language, cognitive, and literacy skills (i.e., working memory, vocabulary, grammatical knowledge, inference, comprehension monitoring, word reading, and listening comprehension) to reading comprehension were examined by comparing four variations of direct and indirect effects model of reading. Results from 350 English-speaking second graders revealed that language and cognitive component skills had direct and indirect re…
Direct and mediated effects of language and cognitive skills on comprehension of oral narrative texts (listening comprehension) for children
Developmental, Component-Based Model of Reading Fluency
The primary goal was to expand our understanding of text-reading fluency (efficiency or automaticity): how its relation to other constructs (e.g., word-reading fluency, reading comprehension) changes over time and how it is different from word-reading fluency and reading comprehension. The study examined (a) developmentally changing relations among word-reading fluency, listening comprehension, text-reading fluency, and reading comprehension; (b)…
